The metacarpal bones are the bones distal to the wrist.
metacarpals
The five hand bones between the carpal bones of the wrist and the phalangeal bones of the fingers are the metacarpals.
There are fifteen Bones in wrist:
1. Carpal (8)
2. Metacarpal (5)
3. Radius
4. Ulna
The humerus, radius, and ulna are distal to the glenoid cavity and proximal to the wrist.
The carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges are distal to the radius and ulna.
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
There are 27 bones in your hand: 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges (each of your fingers has 3 phalanges in them - proximal, middle, and distal. However, there are only two phalanges in your thumb, proximal and distal.)
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
The ulna is proximal to the carpal bones. The carpal bones are distal to the ulna.
The phalanges, or toe bones, are distal to the metatarsals. They are farther away from the origin of the lower limb.
The left radius and ulna, the bones of the forearm, are distal to the left elbow and proximal to the left wrist. The radius is the larger of the two bones.
Distal, middle and proximal phalanx.
Metatarsus bones are five long foot bones. They are distal to tarsus bones and proximal to phalanges in your foot. So bones that are proximal to your toes are metatarsus bones.
Proximal and Distal
No, the tarsal bones are proximal to the phalanges. The phalanges are distal to the tarsal bones.
There are 27 bones in your hand: 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, and 14 phalanges (each of your fingers has 3 phalanges in them - proximal, middle, and distal. However, there are only two phalanges in your thumb, proximal and distal.)
No, it the wrist would be distal to the elbow. The best way to remember this is by using the words approximate (close) and distant (far). If something is proximal, it is closer to the trunk. If it is distal, it is further away from the trunk. That's wrong, i just got that one wrong on the test i was taking. it is proximal to the elbow!!
The femur is proximal to the tarsals (ankle bones). The femur is the thighbone.
The radius and ulna are proximal to the carpal bones. The carpals are distal to the radius and ulna.
